You’ll never miss the butter in these delicious Coconut Oil Chocolate Chips Cookies!
Ask and you shall receive!
The other day my daughter said to me, “You know what you should make?” “Chocolate Chip Cookies!”
I’m always cooking or baking something in my kitchen. My daughter suffers from lactose intolerance so she really tries to control her dairy intake and doesn’t always get to enjoy what I make. She had been craving some good old fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies. Nothing fancy. Just your basic cookie. So I came up with a recipe that substituted the butter with coconut oil, replaced the chocolate chips with some special allergy friendly chocolate chips and I whipped up a batch of cookies for her.
They were absolutely delicious and even though they didn’t have any butter added they still had that yummy buttery flavor.
I’d make them this way even if she didn’t have lactose intolerance issues!

- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Light brown sugar ,packed

Thanks Michelle! Coconut oil is great. I’ve had to start buying extra because my daughter likes to use it on her hair as a moisturizer! I was a little surprised to find it in the shower but it works great and doesn’t leave your hair greasy. So now I buy one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom! 🙂
